Reading these physical behaviors accurately comes down partly through practice and honing one’s ability to spot small subtleties.

Have an understanding how others harbor sentiments towards society so that once interpreted wholly actions won’t take one by surprise implying somethings being hidden beneath the surface.

Such questions start with words such as why, how or what preventing them from responding by sliding past any potential revealing answers(not bad huh). At times silence after such inquiries use it well should break one’s resolve.
Another approach is mirror statements(literally rephrasing whatever somebody has just said); doing so can make them feel heard and understood giving space open up plus build up trust.
